Abstract

PCT No. PCT/FR90/00290 Sec. 371 Date Oct. 21, 1991 Sec. 102(e) Date Oct. 21, 1991 PCT Filed Apr. 24, 1990 PCT Pub. No. WO90/12491 PCT Pub. Date Nov. 1, 1990.Device for automatic positioning of plants is provided with a vertical positioner element conical at the top and cylindrical at the bottom wherein is introduced by known means the plant with its earth ball. The earth ball is located in the cylindrical portion while the plant itself is in the conical portion which is upwardly tapered. An insufflation head is provided with a seal adjusted to the positioner element and permitting the injection of air or a gas when the assembly, including the positioner element and the insufflation head, is above a hole which has been previously made in a receiver element where the planting is to take place. The device facilitates and automates the setting in place of plants of all kinds while preserving their integrity owing to the use of non-mechanical handling means.
